Tottenham are interested in Dwight McNeil and have now enquired about signing the Burnley winger amid strong interest from elsewhere.
Burnley suffered relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the season, ending their six-year stay in the top flight.
The Clarets will feel a major financial hit from that, before even factoring in the loan repayments from ALK Capital’s takeover.
The likes of Nick Pope, Nathan Collins, Josh Brownhill and Maxwel Cornet are bound to attract interest from Premier League clubs.
It’s now winger McNeil being linked with a move away from Burnley with top-flight clubs queueing up to sign him.
Tottenham are interested in Dwight McNeil
90Min now claim that Burnley have received a number of enquiries about McNeil as the summer transfer window starts to speed up.
It’s stated that Tottenham are one of the clubs to have asked about signing McNeil.
They are joined by the likes of Newcastle United, Everton, Brentford, West Ham United and Fulham, with six Premier League clubs now in the mix.
Those clubs are seemingly lining up to try and take advantage of Burnley’s relegation by moving in for McNeil.
The former Manchester United youngster carved out a key role in the Burnley team as he featured prominently down the flanks.
McNeil, 22, endured a difficult campaign last term, recording no goals and just one assist in 38 outings.
The England Under-21 international still has major talent but needs to make the right move in order to get is career back on track.
McNeil was hailed by Jamie Carragher as a ‘really quality player’ back in September but another manager now needs to try and unlock that again.
Tottenham need homegrown numbers and may see McNeil as a player who can play at left wing back or on the left of Antonio Conte’s attack.
Interest from the likes of Everton, Newcastle and West Ham means this is no sure thing, but McNeil may now be a name for Tottenham fans to keep a close eye on.
